Epilogue – Week of August 25th

This week sure went sideways on me.

I thought I’d do M.U.S.C.L.E. figure #107 for the Guide this week. Snap some pictures, edit, get them posted and all that good stuff. Unfortunately work got crazy and my wife had to travel, then I had to travel. I actually had a few minutes late Wednesday night, but I was just too damn tired.

This week – I don’t mind. I had something happen on Sunday that helped me to stay centered. My youngest (Dr. M.U.S.C.L.E.’s assistant) helped bake some chocolate chip cookies with his Mom. I quickly snapped this picture.

It literally warms my heart. It’s easy to forget how purely happy you can be. I bought M.U.S.C.L.E. toys as a kid because they made me happy. I played with them. The toys were fun. Anytime I start to forget that, I’m going to look at this picture.

'Oh my god! I've found the rare__(insert whatever color here)__ Claw.I might not get another chance!'

For the past few months (ok, maybe longer) anytime I see an auction like this one, where I think the price is being driven by a #153 figure, my brain instantly says, “Oh my god! I’ve found the rare __(insert whatever color here)__ Claw. I might not get another chance!”

I wavered on including this comic. I guess it’s my Picture of the Week. You can read a little bit about it here. The omptimist side of me really liked it at first, but it stuck in my brain. When that happens the pessimist side of my brain starts tearing it apart. I hope you like it. If you do, we could probably enjoy a beer together.
